Event
The feeding of the five thousand
In a remote place near the Sea of Galilee Jesus fed a crowd of about five thousand men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fish, blessing and breaking the bread until all were satisfied and twelve baskets were left over. John records that the people wanted to make Him king by force, and that Jesus withdrew.

The feeding of the five thousand echoes 2 Kings 4:42-44
Strong allusion or echoMedium confidence
Elisha fed a hundred men with twenty barley loaves and had some left over; John's account of five barley loaves feeding five thousand with twelve baskets over follows the same shape on a far larger scale.
Evidence:
- 2 Kings 4:42-44
- John 6:9-13
Other responsible views
- Manna as the primary background: John's own discourse turns to the manna, not to Elisha, so the Elisha echo is a reader's observation rather than John's stated point.
